Paper Money of Fiji

K. A. Rodgers and Carol Cantrell

Kingdom of Bau

Bank of Tonga

Kingdom of Fiji

Treasury Notes

Bills of Exchange

Government of Fiji

Currency Tokens

World War II Issues

Reece Brothers

Fiji Currency Co.

Bank of New Zealand

Currency Tokens

Bank of New South Wales

Brewer & Joske, Suva

Loma Loma, Windward Island

Levuka, Ovalau, Fiji

Fiji Currency Company

Vakacavacava Fractional Notes

Cakabau Regime

Fiji Banking and Commercial Company

Covering all early issues of paper money in the Fiji islands, this is a scholarly yet entertaining study of the issue of paper money in a remote British colony. Issued as a fine hard-bound book, it is well worth the investment of USD22.50.

Local Paper Money issued during the Spanish Civil War

Kenneth Graeber

This is a good quality, unbound photocopy of the original 1977 edition of Kenneth Graeber’s pioneering work on local currencies issued during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1938). Containing historical data, statistics and illustrations, this work will appeal to anyone with an interest in the Spanish Civil War. The photocopy, on standard 3-hole punched paper, is USD19.50.

Paper Money of the 20th Century, Volume Four, Section Two

Yoshirori Ogawa, Hitoshi Kozoho and Joseph E. Boling

This publication addresses the paper money of Japan, explaining vignettes, translating characters and identifying the printers. This Section covers:

Japanese Military Notes

Japanese Invasion Money (JIM)

Prisoner of War Issues

Allied Military Notes

Allied Military Propaganda Notes

Yokohama Specie Notes

This volume was a companion edition to Section One and was intended to be housed in the folder sold with Section One. Unfortunately, Section One is sold out and Section Two is supplied without a binder. While research on Japanese notes has been published since this work first appeared, this volume remains important because:

The Prisoner of War (POW) listings are the most complete anywhere in any language

There is a list of US military club chits in Japan that appears in no other publication

The Yokohama Specie Bank data is presented in its original form, unadulterated by those who have copied it.

Therefore, this remains a worthwhile volume for those collectors who have an interest in Japan and in military currencies. The price of this publication is USD22.50.

Postage to addresses outside the US is as follows: $12.00 for 1 book. $16.00 for 2 books. Delivery will be by International Priority Mail and should take around 6-10 days.
